Wendy Elliott-Vandivier, an artist and long-time disability advocate will present information on her experiences as an artist and disability activist. As part of her presentation, she will show examples of her cartoons that focus on disability awareness and some of the microaggressions that disabled people experience as they try to live their ordinary, “un-inspirational” lives. Following her presentation, she will engage the participants in a hands-on cartoon making workshop where attendees can create their own art about microaggressions, ableism and other forms of discrimination.
